Day on the Hill is MASC’s annual legislative advocacy day. Typically, this event brings hundreds of school committee members, superintendents and student leaders to the State House in Boston to meet with the executive and legislative leadership as well as local senators and representatives. This event is an increasingly critical moment for MASC members to advance the message of the value of public education and ensure that legislators and other key decision/policy makers understand the issues and challenges that you confront and that they can support.
The Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC) is committed to advocating for policies and legislation that strengthen public education and support school committees in their mission to provide every student with a high-quality education. MASC’s public policy priorities are determined by a vote of membership at the annual Delegate Assembly. Throughout the year, MASC staff, the Board of Directors, and the Legislative Committee collaborate to develop a strategic advocacy plan and engage with legislators, state agencies, and education stakeholders to advance these priorities.
